A Japanese game about collecting cats has taken over everyone's phones and lives and now coffee as well. It's hard not to get hooked on all things Neko Atsume. Speaking of, I need to go check on my yard.

A Japanese news website is reporting that this giant squid was filmed on December 24, by an underwater camera swimming near boat moorings.
It was reportedly about 13 feet long and 3 feet around. Some on Twitter have suggested that the species may be Architeuthis, a deep-ocean dwelling creature that can grow up to 43 feet.

The Running Christmas Tree is the latest revolutionary wearable device to have been developed by Tokyo-based inventor Joseph Tame.
This mobile seasonal illumination device has been designed to disrupt the illumination industry by allowing for on-demand illumination - simply pull out your phone and summon the Christmas tree anytime, anywhere, and Joseph will head in your direction to bring some light into your life.
Featuring over 1500 LEDs, 9 mico-controlers and 100 batteries, this 25kg / 2.5metre tree is unlike anything seen before, and has been a huge hit on the streets of Tokyo where the service was first rolled out.
Full information on the tree and links to book it for yourself can be found a: http://tokyoxmas.org

You know how on the internet you can get away with embellishing the truth a little to make yourself sound better than you really are?

Spoiler alert: you can't. Everyone knows you're a phony, and Japanese memes are calling you out for it. Message boards like 2ch have been circulating images comparing the "online you" to the "real world you," and it ain't pretty. The next time you're thinking about lying about yourself, remember these comparisons.
